Prepare and edit

Open a damaged PDF or try the sample.

Choose up to 50 pages and a resolution, then attempt recovery.

Review the recovered pages and failure report before downloading.

Compatibility and review

This is best-effort visual recovery through PDF.js, not a guarantee of structural repair. Files must still have a readable PDF header and enough structure to locate pages. No password bypass or brute force. Unreadable pages are reported and omitted; no blank replacement is silently inserted. Recovered pages are images, without editable text, interactive fields, links, bookmarks or original signatures.

Private processing

PDF inputs stay in browser memory; no documents or recognized text are uploaded. PDF and OCR engines are served from this website. No remote links are opened automatically. Use authorized documents, review outputs, and download before closing the page. Input up to 20 MB / 200 pages unless a stricter limit is stated; output up to 80 MB. Edits may invalidate existing digital signatures.
